Chennai’s well-known comedians took the stage for “The Hindu Stand-Up Show” on Friday evening at The Music Academy, presenting a humorous take on the ups and downs of the life in the city. The event featured stand-up acts by Badava Gopi, Mervyn Rozario, Praveen Kumar, Rajmohan, Ramkumar Natarajan, and Vikram Arul Vidyapathi aka Vikkals Vikram.
Mervyn Rozario opened the show with jokes about Chennai’s infamous traffic, including the latest red heart traffic signal. Praveen Kumar followed, humorously tackling the challenges of house hunting and reminiscing about the nostalgic MGR era. Ramkumar Natarajan shared his gratitude to Chennai’s thriving IT sector and wrapped up his set with a witty take on corporate culture. Vikkals Vikram kept the momentum going with relatable jokes about the modern family dynamics in Chennai, while Rajmohan, also the curator of the show, had his set focused on motivation. Rounding off the night on a high note, range of mimicry in Badava Gopi’s set left the audience in fits of laughter.
Vasanthi S and Sridharan K, a couple who came to watch the show, said, “We saw the newspaper today and immediately booked the show with no expectations. It happened to be the best because it was a riot of laughter. We have been actively following The Hindu Made of Chennai, and went to moonlight cinema last week too,” they said.
